our story

George and Maria came to Carson City in 1991 and bought Nick’s Pizza on Carson Street. George made great pizza and Maria made great everything else and as proud Greek Americans they put every bit of their fun-loving, passionate, argumentative and endearing passion into their business. And the pizza was good…real good.

Real People, great food, good fun and great customers, George and Maria were a hit. But they rarely saw their restaurant as a business. They viewed this restaurant as a meeting place for their friends and their friend’s families. Many of the Carson City kids that grew up getting quarters from Maria for the arcade, now have kids of their own. George and Maria’s place (Nick’s Pizza and then Pizza King) was exactly what a family pizzeria should be, a place where we could all come together and break bread…or CRUST!

Rene and Francisca are the new owners of this great community gathering place. It is with the respect for this history that we proudly present “The Thick Slice Pizza Company.” We hope to stay true to the tradition that George and Maria started, and evolve and improve to serve the next generations of our extended family. So our family welcomes you, your friends and all your family and wishes you good health, good life and great pizza!
